Product Description:

The classic John Lee Hooker albums "The Very Best of John Lee Hooker - I'm The Boogie Man", "Gotham Golden Classics - The Rare Recordings" and "Don't Turn Me From Your Door: John Lee Hooker Sings His Blues" on 3 CDs.

Over the course of three discs, this set reaffirms (not that it could ever be in doubt) John Lee Hooker's status as the Professor Emeritus of the Black Snake Boogie school of blues. Containing material from DON'T TURN ME FROM YOUR DOOR and other albums, including some rarities, ONLY THE BEST is jam-packed with Hooker's stomp-of-doom gems, from more familiar tunes ("House Rent Boogie" and "I'm Gonna Kill That Woman") to tracks that will perk up the interest of even the well-schooled Hooker fan.
